87-5A's 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue 87-5A's 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue

There is currently two videos up on Youtube.  The first video is a an exhaust comparision going through the mufflers, and then uncorked through the dumps I had the local hotrod exhaust shop install.  Makes for a crowd pleaser at cruises.  :-)  The second video was taken a year later of me burning the back hides off a couple of times.  I finally had gotten a 4.10 SG (posi) installed and wanted to get some cool shots before shoving it in the garage for the winter.  The entire previous year I was driving the car with an open carrier.  :-0

87-5A's 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue I first got this car eight years ago as something to beat the crap out of back in high school. A buddy of mine at the time introduced me to some of the local Mopar gurus and I started to get interested in the hobby, Next thing I knew my slight curiosity turned into a full fledged project. I progressed from simply fixing things to upgrading.  It started out with a simple 4bbl swap on the original motor, and turned into custom frame work to install a 4spd auto transmission and a 400 horse 360 small block.

87-5A's 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue A few years ago I had to car over a friends house for some routing paint work and he asked me if I wanted ghost flames painted on the car.  He was just experimenting and it still turned out as if I took the car a professional shop with a spray booth.  Hell, he did that in his garage!  Other work includes dent fixes and a complete repaint of hte base white.  New factory style pinstripping was also added.

87-5A's 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue Cragar S/S wheels with BFG Radial T/A's. 15x8 255-60-15 in the rear. 15x7 235-60-15 in the front. The rear tires have a 4.25" backspace allowing the tires sit inside the wheel well without a single issue of rubbing.  To me the Cragars compliment the car well due to the amount of chrome on the body.

I have a 88 Fifth Avenue and was wondering how much if anything else you had to modify besides the transmission to put the 360 in and an estimate of how much it cost parts and labor to have it done. The 318 in mine has terrible acceleration and tops at about 95. Thanks.

took a look at those videos, and i have got to say i think i'll swap out the 318 in my 85 fifth avenue for a 360, you got any tips that might help, it would really help. Props again for the car man, check mine out sometime, ain't much now, but thats gonna change.
